Kauai Katie - Todd Pletcher will be looking for his first graded stakes win at Saratoga this summer with impressive filly Kauai Katie. She has only one career start thus far but by all accounts is a star in the making. She broke maiden by a staggering 12 lengths on July 20 and earned a 100 Beyer Speed Figure in that race - the highest by any two year old this year.

Salamera - broke maiden on May 26 at Calder by four and a quarter lengths and then went on to win her only other career start in the J J's Dream Stakes also at Calder on June 30. Two wins in two career starts has Salamera on the Adirondack radar.

Cayllano - also has two wins in two career starts and like Salamera, Cayllano has on Maiden Special Weight score by an impressive nine lengths and a stakes win under her belt - the White Clay Creek Overnight Stakes by eight and a half lengths at Delaware Park on July 4. Cayllano has yet to be challenged in a race but Sunday figures to be her toughest race to date.
